Samantha's Events

From time to time, Samantha hosts high-end, exclusive and sophisticated events for her friends, her clients and select members of her database. Her events are unique in that they are connected to philanthropic causes, politics and fashion, but all with an eye towards networking and meeting new people.

You can see some of her most popular events below.
